[DCPM] Speaking of Perl

[Darke, Clive]

I work for QA, which is a fairly large training company.  We teach Perl to corporates all the time, PHP is less popular with our customers.  Python is the one gaining ground.

I've been pushing Perl and UWE, but there was already a small handful of
students that had found it by themselves. Sadly the vast majority go for
PHP seemly solely on it's reputation of being easy to learn.

I've taught secondard school students Perl is a course I ran for free.
I'm hoping to run some more this year, and that others might take up the
challenge.
